Is there an API to see how much hash rate is going into PPS? I know it doesn't affect our rate of earning or variability, but I am curious how many have moved over from other PPS options.

There is, you can use the ppshashrate() function. Currently 10ghash in PPS mode so bigger than the score pool.

Can someone point me to a guide or explain how to use the RPC service for all the other functions? Thanks

All payments have been sent. There is now plenty of BTC in reserve so hopefully a delay like this won't happen again. Once again, sorry for the inconvenience.

Is the PPS wallet empty again? I have been >1 BTC balance for a couple hours and haven't gotten a payout.

Should my balance be blank? I've been running it for almost two days: http://www.continuumpool.com/balance.php?worker=1D6v2gzXV4Tj7RtHPfpWmy5fRD68ZmN6Mm

Is this because a block still hasn't been found?

Hello all,

Database dumps are now up. They show the worker, time of a share and score along with any BTC owed to that worker. They are here:

Brand new to BTC but I noticed this thread in my initial research and decided to join the pool earlier this week. So is it normal for a pool to go this long without finding a block? I've thrown my 1.15 Gh/s into the hat (score-based), but seeing as the round hasn't ended since I joined I have yet to see my first bitcoin.

This is an abnormally long round. At current hashrates, we should on average find a block every 3 or so days.

Yeah, variance is a bitch. Just wait (or get deepbitters to join continuum instead).

This is an abnormally long round. At current hashrates, we should on average find a block every 3 or so days. However, the more people who join the pool, the lower our time to find a block and the more even the payouts. So hopefully the situation improves over time.

To PPS-mode miners.

My appologies for the payout delays. The good news is, PPS-mode has found a block and all payouts will be dispatched as soon as it matures tomorrow. Additionally, I am moving more BTC over to the pool to hopefully eliminate this in the future.

For regular pool, I nearly have the database dump scripts complete and share/score traces will be made available on the website shortly to provide some needed pool integrity. You will be able to verify scores, solutions and the payouts.

It is possible that you are not receiving payment for your pps because the current round started 5-30, this is the longest it has been since we have found a block since I joined. PPS was implemented during this time, so there may not be any coins to payout yet.

PPS means payment is received for every share regardless of blocks found. If what martok implemented is different then he's wrong to call it PPS.

Coming up on 72 hours now.. no payout and no response, something up?

Go PM martok (the pool operator).

His been helping me solve my problem (payout) and what not. Sometimes the payout is delayed too.

Got it, just for the record http://www.continuumpool.com/balance.php?worker=1LLdCXQohpJcZpKrwGc9ebgfKrDanYuwKC this has been this way for about 24 hours now.

How long after ticking over to 1 btc is the transfer made?

martok has said as soon as 1btc is reached (I believe), however I myself have noticed that the smallest payments I have receieved have been in 3btc increments. Sometimes it has taken 24 hours, but the last payment I received (this is purely anecdotal) was instantaneous as soon as I started an instance of bitcoin.

Payments should be close to when you tick over 1 BTC but there are potential delays.

The payment script runs from an hourly cron so there is a bit of slack there. This allows the pool to combine transactions when possible IE I can send payments to 5 workers using 1 nonstandard transaction.

It's also potentially possible for PPS miners to get delayed if the bitcoind on the pool lacks a balance. I need to fix that manually when it happens though that has only occured once thus far. Not an issue for regular pool mining.

Also: martok, current balance and client hashrate is down once again.
